Pond Inlet mayor Charlie Inuarak, centre, chair of the 2014 Baffin Mayors’ Forum, guides proceedings on day one of the three-day series of meetings between the region’s mayors and Nunavut government officials March 4 in Iqaluit. With him are forum vice-chair Jerry Natanine, right, mayor of Clyde River, and Brian Fleming, senior administrative officer for Igloolik. The annual forum gives mayors a chance to talk directly to the territorial government’s various department representatives “in terms of what’s working in the Baffin region and what’s not working,” Fleming said. Stormy weather delayed the attendance of five of the region’s 13 mayors on the first day. (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
